Frosthaven's dotfiles (managed by chezmoi)

A cross-platform dotfiles setup providing a consistent tiling window manager and developer experience on Arch Linux, macOS, and Windows. Favors cross-platform packages where possible.

Setup

1. Install chezmoi
2. Run:

   chezmoi init https://github.com/Frosthaven/dotfiles
   chezmoi apply

3. When prompted "Are you the GitHub repository owner?", answer n

That's it! Identity files (SSH, git, rclone) are skipped - set up your own as needed.
